Or, they found something far, far more important to talk about. Nothing that this pair of Dilbert's say needs editing to remove 'bad light'.

Yes, also got it from Barclays. Ditto nothing from Wise.

What? No amulet(s)?!

I doubt that.

No more 12-month data SIM's from all operators? Or just no more NT Thunder options? Are those 1-year devices and prices? My DTAC data SIM in the 4G router will expire in January so maybe I better start looking at alternatives.

Earlier this year, I was using a Chinese client's workstation that had free WPS instead of MS Office. Mostly it did the business, but it did corrupt a couple of my macro-driven Excel workbooks inasmuch as they were unusable after being saved and then trying to access them via a licensed version of Office on my laptop. The macros and VBA coding stopped working, and the graphing was also screwed up.

WrLife are listing 33 degenerative diseases up front. How many of these will other insurance companies cite as a reason to deny a claim?

I have dropped dinner and generally eating after 6 pm from my regimen this past week and down 3 kg which is handy. I do have a big, hot mug of Horlicks made with skimmed milk around 9 pm though. But, staying on topic... mostly just coffee and either a croissant or some smashed avocado on toasted sourdough. Porridge every second or third day and once a week maybe have steak and eggs or the 'full English'.

Porridge oats and blueberries, a dash of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon with skimmed milk.

Well, while the paint was drying, I had nothing better to do than wade through all those Trustpilot reviews. I will be switching to WrLife soon.

Altruism... you don't see a lot of that these days, eh? So, how's your new gig as financial adviser and ad-hoc insurance ombudsman working out?

All good points. I have my PC renewal on the desktop and there's nothing that specifically shows a "legal name, address and contact details of the insurer actually underwriting their policy as well as the financial security of the insurer and the identity of the regulator overseeing them." It does have their address, contact info, website and tax ID on the footer of each page. Maybe a happy and contented WrLife policy holder can post a redacted copy of their policy and insurance certificate, and we can check the 'small print' for ourselves?

I got this email shot from Revolut two weeks ago. Hi NanLaew, Helping you keep your money safe is a cornerstone of what we do at Revolut. Our 24/7 financial crime prevention team works round the clock to ensure your money’s safe. But if something were to happen, new protections are here to help ensure you aren’t left out of pocket. Here’s what you need to know. What’s changing? From 7 October 2024, new rules protecting UK account holders from Authorised Push Payment (APP) scams will apply. What is APP fraud? When criminals trick or persuade you to transfer money to another account, then steal your funds. Find out more about different types of fraud and scams on our dedicated page. Who’s eligible? UK account holders who can show they didn’t act fraudulently, or with gross negligence, when making the payment or transfer. 
 What can I claim? Certain transactions made on or after 7 October 2024 are eligible. You may be entitled to a refund of up to £85,000. A £100 excess applies for most claims. How do I raise a claim? Tap the payment in your Transactions list > Get help > Report this payment as fraudulent. Complete and submit the form, and we’ll get in touch to process the claim. If you have multiple transactions to report, you can add them to the form. Not all transactions will be eligible for a refund. Head to our FAQs for more information on eligibility, claims, and other T&Cs.

Ask him? Or carry on posting groundless conjecture.

Some have asked for a similar thread on roojai car insurance's rejected claims. Still waiting.

Nothing new in those rules, pretty standard IMHO. My PC insurance requires authorization for non-emergency and/or elective procedures. Bangkok Hospital issues a medical certificate as standard for procedures already agreed to by PC. They will issue a medical certificate for non-emergency and/or elective procedures if requested. Before anyone here claims they can walk-in to any hospital and get a heart transplant without any need for their insurers to pre-approve, consider how long you have had your uninterrupted insurance coverage. Anyone with a comparatively short-term insurance history won't have that luxury. The insurance company's decisions are also weighted on your prior claims history, declared pre-existing conditions, etc.. Look it like your credit rating. If you have a rubbish credit rating or no credit history at all, your financial options are either more expensive, restricted, or both.

100+ frauds reported to BBC, but thousands reported in total. Looks like twice as much as Monzo but Barclays aren't too far behind. I know already how rubbish Barclays can be just getting normal stuff done, let alone in an emergency. I use them solely for fast transfers. I haven't tested them as a recipient of my client's invoicing yet, but even if I do, that money will simply pass through to conventional banks or make a short-term, low-value "family vacation" or "student allowance" fund.

It's Greek. Are you familiar with Australian migration?

Latest news on Revolut isn't very good and indicates that theft by fraud being reported by their UK account holders is almost twice as high as that reported by conventional UK bank customers. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wkzv1zk91o Looking at this and related stories, the key issue still appears to be people being duped by cold-callers. One complainant says he eventually felt suspicious, but that didn't stop him doing everything the scammers asked. Because Revolut does not have any form of dedicated fraud hot-line outside of reporting via their app, the response is slow and disappointing.

Anyway, here's America's best presidential candidate ever trying out for his next gig.

Regardless of who gets the keys to the White House, when America sh*ts the bed, the whole world has to lie in it.

I don't like or support Harris either but, when faced with insults and nothing tangible or remotely realistic from Trump, why not simply do the same? Why make the effort to deal in facts and policy when confronted with a buffoon who is only good at trolling and insulting a good 50% of fellow Americans? Maybe she's simply following the old "don't wrestle with a pig", or "don't argue with an idiot" advice?

And this would be a bad thing, of course.

No I don't, but you just carry on.

The precursor to the "but Harris" deflection.
